Trump-Vance White House Targets Beloved Nun in Texas, Retaliates Against Catholic Charities Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

HHS changed the name of transgender health leader on her official portrait Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered.

1) This is a racist, fascist, authoritarian regime. 2)They don’t care about- or use- anyone except for people who can enrich, empower and further their agenda. 3) They only serve themselves, preferably at the expense of everyone else.
